Rush hour!

Tidal Rush certainly came with a rush on the Sapphire Coast yesterday, getting up by the tiniest margin with a superb finish to win at $5.80!

Nine from TGIF and a real range of odds on offer…

TGIF Nine…

Tommy Shelby, Vindicator

Ashburton R10

5:21pm

TS resumed three weeks ago after almost six months and had been going pretty well. Trialled up under T Moseley last month with a third and ran an even sixth. Fitter for that, pushes out to his favoured 1400m (5:1-2-1) and TM sticks, easy EW punt at $7.

V resumes from a six month plus break and has won first-up (6:1-1-1) and Kylie fas form up top, $21 shot.

BET: TS 4 units ew, V 3 units ew

Sapphires Son

Wagga R5

5:40pm

Had been building to a win and obliged six weeks ago at Goulburn over the 1600m then ran last over the 1200m four weeks ago. Back to the mile, back in grade, winning jockey back onboard and he can bounce back in this at $9.50 in an even betting event.

BET: 3 units ew

Canny Hell

Wagga R7

6:55pm

Couple of ordinary runs this prep but won a trial this month and has had some success this T&D, backing him to bounce back also at $5 in this…

BET: 5 units ew

Ramones, Spirit Of Pluto

Moree R7

7:15pm

Ramones had been moving on the right direction this prep and wasn’t far off in ninth two weeks ago at Scone. EW in this at $6.50.

SOP needed the resuming run when last at Tamworth two months ago then ran sixth in a BM85. Back to the BM58 two weeks ago and up to a more suitable 1100m and while he ran ninth he wasn’t that far off. Up to the 1200m will help if he can land in a decent spot, $11 on offer.

BET:  Both 3 units ew, exotics

Electric Evie

Moree R8

7:55pm

Needed the resuming run a month ago and improved for a close third at Armidale two weeks ago. The rise to 1400m looks suitable and she’s placed 3 from 3 third-up. Decent EW shot at $8.50.

BET: 4 units ew

Mazzini

Launceston R4

9:30pm

Bolted in by 7 lengths at odds-on in late June on debut, looks hard to beat at odds-on again.

BET: 10 unit win

Hot Whiskers

Cranbourne R6

10:15pm

Won on debut then went for a break then ran a couple of plain ones in June before heading back to the paddock. Has trialled up for her return with a couple of trials, will need to jump well over the 955m dash but can figure if she does, $6.50 on offer.

BET: 3 units ew
